Sinkhole Closes Maryland Road Following Rainfall

GERMANTOWN, Md. (WJZ) — A sinkhole opened up in Montgomery County Sunday after heavy rainfall over the weekend.
The sinkhole shut down Father Hurley Boulevard in both directions between Middlebrook Road and Crystal Rock Drive.
Officials say this sinkhole -15 ft deep and 15ft across- will likely keep a section of major Germantown artery Father Hurley Blvd closed for weeks. Officials say heavy rains soaked a storm drain and it gave way overnight. @wusa9 #GetUpDC pic.twitter.com/E92jJnxi
